Give me a kiss to build a dream on,
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss.
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on.
...oOo...
Give me a kiss before you leave me,
And my imagination will feed my hungry heart.
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on.
...oOo...
When I'm alone with my fancies...I'll be with you
Weaving romances...making believe they're true.
...oOo...
Give me your lips for just a moment,
And my imagination will make that moment live.
Give me what you alone can give,
A kiss to build a dream on.

A RED, RED ROSERobert Burns

A RED, RED ROSEAuthor: Robert Burns

O my Luve's like a red, red rose That's newly sprung in June: O my Luve's like the melodie That's sweetly play'd in tune!@ As fair thou art, my bonnie lass, So deep in love am I: And I will love thee still, my dear, Till a' the seas gang dry: @Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt with the sun; I will luve thee still my dear, When the sands of life shall run.@ And fare thee weel, my only Luve, And fare thee weel a while! And I will come again, my Luve, Tho' it were ten thousand mile.

A MOTHER'S PRAYERUnknown

A MOTHER'S PRAYERAuthor: Unknown

Dear Lord, it’s such a hectic day,
With little time to stop and pray,
For life’s been anything but calm
Since You called me to be a mom -
Running errands, matching socks,
Building dreams with wooden blocks,
Cooking, cleaning, finding shoes
And other stuff that children lose,
Fitting lids on bottled bugs,
Wiping tears and giving hugs,
A stack of last week’s mail to read –
So where’s the quiet time I need?
Yet, when I steal a moment, Lord,
Just at the sink or ironing board,
To ask the blessings of Your grace,
I see then, in my small one’s face,
That you have blessed me
All the while –
And I stoop to kiss
That precious smile.

AS TIME GOES BYUnKnown

AS TIME GOES BYAuthor: UnKnown

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is still just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.
+++|+++
And when two lovers woo,
They still say: "I love you."
On that you can rely.
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.
+++|+++
Moonlight and love songs - never out of date
Hearts full of passion - jealousy and hate
Woman needs man - and man must have his mate
That no one can deny.
+++|+++
It's still the same old story,
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

DEAR DADDYAuthor: Unknown

In all the things I try to do,
I want to do them just like you.
I'm watching every move you make
And trying to take each step you take.

Although right now I'm sort of small,
When I'm with you I feel ten feet tall.
Like you, I want to be brave and smart,
'Cause I love you, Daddy with all my heart.

When I am older I'll be so glad
If I grow up to be
Just like Dad.

EASTER BUNNY Mary Brandolino

EASTER BUNNY Author: Mary Brandolino

In memory of all the bunnies we couldn't save.I remember Easter SundayIt was colorful and funThe new life that I'd begunIn my new cage.I was just a little thingWhen they brought me from the storeAnd they put me on the floorIn my cage.They would take me out to playLove and pet me all the timeThen at day's end I would climbIn my cage.But as days and weeks went byI saw less of them it seemedOf their loving touch I dreamedIn my cage.In the night outside their houseI felt sad and so neglectedOften scared and unprotectedIn my cage.In the dry or rainy weatherSometimes hotter sometimes colderI just sat there growing olderIn my cage.The cat and dog raced by mePlaying with each other onlyWhile I sat there feeling lonelyIn my cage.Upon the fresh green grassChildren skipped and laughed all dayI could only watch them playFrom my cage.They used to take me outAnd let me scamper in the sunI no longer get to runIn my cage.Once a cute and cuddly bunnyLike a little ball of cottonNow I'm grown up and forgottenIn my cage.I don't know what went wrongAt the home I did inhabitI just grew to be a rabbitIn my cage.But they've brought me to the poundI was once loved and enjoyedNow I wait to be destroyedIn my cage.

EASTER HOLIDAY unknown

EASTER HOLIDAY Author: unknown

Easter holiday, is a celebration of the resurrection of Christ!Jesus Christ, The Son of God, bled and died for us in a sacrifice.This Spring day's celebrated, generally in the month of April.All of the bright and pretty colors, of the Easter outfits with frills.Women and children will wear their Easter bonnets.In the Spring, you'll hear the various musical sonnets.April will bring many rain showers.That'll bring us various beautiful flowers.One special flower for this day is the Easter Lily.It's color is white, and yet snowy & milky.The birds will sing their songs of praise.As we begin to feel the warmth of the sun's rays.As we say "Goodbye" to the winter's gloom,The flowers and trees have already begun to bloom.All of life's beauty, The Lord created, for us all to share.Spring breezes begin to flow, sending fragrances through the air.The winter's thawing will let the rivers, lakes, and streams rise and flow.The beauty of the Earth will make us all feel aglow!Farmers and gardeners will start to hoe.And then they'll begin to sow.On Sundays, we'll hear the various church bells ring.Let's be grateful for the LORD, let's rejoice and sing.If it wasn't for the Lord, we wouldn't have anything!

From there, as he flees, he downward sends an impotent shower of icy hail

Streaking over the verdant vale.

Ah! but the Sun will suffer no white,

Growth and formation stir everywhere,

Twould fain with colours make all things bright,

Though in the landscape are no blossoms fair.

Instead it takes gay-decked humanity.

Now turn around and from this height,

Looking backward, townward see.

Forth from the cave-like, gloomy gate crowds a motley and swarming array.

Everyone suns himself gladly today.

The Risen Lord they celebrate,

For they themselves have now arisen From lowly houses' mustiness,

From handicraft's and factory's prison,

From the roof and gables that oppress,

From the bystreets' crushing narrowness, from the churches' venerable night,

They are all brought out into light.

See, only see, how quickly the masses scatter through gardens and fields remote;

How down and across the river passes so many a merry pleasure-boat.

And over-laden, almost sinking, the last full wherry moves away.

From yonder hill's far pathways blinking, flash to us colours of garments gay.

Hark! Sounds of village joy arise;

Here is the people's paradise,

Contented, great and small shout joyfully:

"Here I am Man, here dare it to be!"

(Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust I)

I THINK OF THE GARDEN AFTER THE RAINAuthor: Edna Dean Procter

I think of the garden after the rain;And hope to my heart comes singing,"At morn the cherry-blooms will be white,And the Easter bells be ringing!"

EASTERCharlotte Batchelor

EASTERAuthor: Charlotte Batchelor

Isn’t it funny?How at a glance its about chocolate eggs and a bunny!But on closer inspection,It’s actually about the resurrection.

Upon a cross he was nailed,Because the Son of God he was hailed.Joseph could find no breath,So this was announced Jesus’ death.

He was placed in a tomb later that day,The Pharisees put a huge stone in the way.Guards were placed who could not slack,As it was believed in three days Jesus would be back.

On the third day there was a great quake,As the Angel of the Lord made the guards shake.When Mary arrived the Angel spoke,And all of their fears were finally broke.

The Angel said your Lord has arisen he is not here,Go check when he did lay and have no fear.He told Mary to pass this message on,For to Galilee was where Jesus had gone.

When Mary went to the disciples and said,They insisted he was dead.Peter was the one who wanted to see if she was right,So he went to the tomb to see it in black and white.

At Emmaus two friends of Jesus’ did dine,With a stranger they broke a loaf of bread and shared wine.They suddenly realised it was Jesus the Holy one,But as soon as they noticed he was gone.

Off to Jerusalem the two men went,To tell of the time with Jesus they had spent.As they were talking Jesus did appear,And the ghost the men did fear.

Don’t be afraid Jesus said,As he showed the nail marks to prove he had once been dead.No longer do Jesus’ friends mourn,As the word was spread – Jesus has been reborn

With OUR EYES we seeThe beauty of Easteras the earth awakens once more...

With OUR EARS we hearThe birds sing sweetlyto tell us Spring again is here...

With OUR HANDS we pickthe golden daffodilsand the fragrant hyacinths...

But only with OUR HEARTScan we feel the MIRACLE of GOD'S LOVEwhich redeems all men...

And only with OUR SOULcan we make our 'pilgrimage to God'and inherit His Easter Gift of ETERNAL LIFE.

AN EASTER BLESSINGJ. S. Bach

AN EASTER BLESSINGAuthor: J. S. Bach

Bless this day the joy of life,The revelation of the flesh,The paradise of man and wifeJoined to share the gift of bliss.Bless this day the pain of life,The passion that redeems the flesh,The love between a man and wifeBeyond all agony and bliss.

Bless this day the end of life,The peace within the dying flesh,The bond between a man and wifeThat long outlasts their bit of bliss.

Bless this day the whole of life,The grace of being more than flesh,The voyage of a man and wifeAcross the mystery of bliss.

Look and see,Where the eggs may be,Here is one and here's another,Here's a lovely one for mother.

Let us look and see,Where the eggs may be.Here, there, where are theyLet's find out on Easter Day.

LIVE IN THE PASTKarl Barth

LIVE IN THE PASTAuthor: Karl Barth

We can never live in the past as if it were our true home…. And it is a good thing that God draws this veil over the past even without our asking. In so doing, He allows us to live today for tomorrow with just the few memories we need of what was.

NEVER STOP FIGHTINGE.E. Cummings

NEVER STOP FIGHTINGAuthor: E.E. Cummings

To be nobody but yourself, in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle that any human being can fight--and never stop fighting.

REFLECTIONS OF A MOTHERsandy

REFLECTIONS OF A MOTHERAuthor: sandy

I gave you life,but cannot live it for you

I can give you directions,but I cannot be there to lead you.

I can take you to church,but I cannot make you believe.

I can teach you right from wrong,but I cannot always decide for you.

I can buy you beautiful clothes,but I cannot make you beautiful inside.

I can offer you advice,but I cannot accept it for you.

I can give you love,but I cannot force it upon you.

I can teach you to share,but I cannot make you unselfish.

I can teach you respect,but I cannot force you to show honor.

I can advise you about sex,but I cannot keep you pure.

I can tell you about alcohol & drugs,but I can't say "No" for you.

I can teach you about kindness,but I can't force you to be gracious

I can pray for you,but I cannot make you walk with God.

I can tell you how to live,but I cannot give you eternal life.

I can love you with unconditional love allof my life.... and I will.
